joan walsh, how did it play last night for the republicans in the debate? >> first of all, ed, where do they find these people ? they boo a gay soldier protecting us in iraq. they are booing birth control. i sit here and i cannot believe that they are acting as though they didn't want to have anything to do with the issue of birth control. these mean old democrats brought it up to trick them when they are the ones making outrageous comments right and left about this freedom and i really want to single out rick santorum because for the last few days he has been even attacking "salon" for an article we wrote about his views on contraception saying i don't want to take away your birth control, ladies. i voted for title 9, the family planning act. last night he had to go on the record saying i voted for it but i didn't really want to. i really oppose it. now he's been trapped and outed as another flip-flopper on the republican side. they are going up the creek without a paddle when it comes to women voters. >> it is hurting them. this chart from talking points

nick paton walsh joins us from kabul. two american officers killed in what would have been a secure area. what do we know about the kind shooter able on pull something like this off? >> reporter: well, many different claims at this point. what we know is it this will gunman was not a westerner and he is currently at large. so escaped from the scene of the shooting. as you say, the taliban have named him saying he was acting for them as a result of anger from the koran burning that happened nearly a week ago on an american base not far from where i'm standing. but that's pretty much it at this point. u.s. officials very keen to stress they are still piecing together the facts here, although we have recently learned from the department of defense state side that in faskt the afghan defense minister has apologized for will incident and also pledged to investigate, cooperate in the investigation as to how it happened. so a hint there perhaps that maybe afghan personnel are somehow involved in perpetrating this crime. >> anyon
